NFL Rumors: Jalen Hurts hidden contract details, Patrick Mahomes injury, surprise QB2

NFL Rumors: Patrick Mahomes isn’t fully recovered yet

Chiefs fans, take a deep breath.

It’s been 8-to-10 weeks since Patrick Mahomes suffered a scary high-ankle sprain which kept him out of part of a playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chad Henne would lead KC down the field on his lone drive.

Mahomes came back from that ailment and led the Chiefs to the Super Bowl, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles in the process. All is well, right?

Perhaps not. Even Mahomes admitted that he’s not necessarily 100 percent healthy yet.

“I wouldn’t say I’m 100%, but I have had no limitations,” Mahomes said. “When you go through the grind of a week of training, and you’re trying to push it and go through the rehab process, but at the same time, you want to make sure you’re still building, you might be a little sore on the weekends, but I think we’ve done a great job of pushing it to the right limit to where now, I’m throwing and stuff like that and having no limitations there.”

Mahomes held some workouts in Texas with Chiefs teammates and players around the league. He’s done his best to stay close to home and not test his ankle all that much as he recovers. Still, one would hope he’s good to go as we near training camp this summer.

He’s far too important to this team to miss time.
